Ignacio Pussetto joins Watford from Udinese
Watford have won four of their past five games to climb out of the relegation zone and Ignacio Pussetto has joined their survival fight.
Watford have signed Argentinean winger Ignacio Pussetto from Udinese for a fee reported to be in the region of 8 million euros. The 24-year-old joined the Serie A outfit from Huracán in 2018 and scored five times in 50 appearances - including one during last month's 3-1 defeat to Juventus, although he has been used predominantly as a substitute this term. Udinese owner Giampaolo Pozzo is the father of Watford owner Gino Pozzo and transfer business between the clubs has been frequent over recent years.
